Eviction: The Hidden Crisis
Event Information
Description
In 2019, the Public Interest Law Center is celebrating 50 years of fighting for justice, and preparing for 50 more.
We focus on “securing access to fundamental resources and services.” These resources and services are the foundations people need to build their lives: a voice at the ballot box, safe housing, healthy neighborhoods, quality education, and freedom from discrimination.
On May 16, 2019, meet and mingle with our staff and clients while enjoying catered food after a presentation about our current work helping tenants stand up for themselves when landlords fail to provide safe housing, as well as our historical work in this project area. Hear directly from several of our recent clients about their personal stories.
Thank you to our presenting sponsor: Tactix Real Estate Advisors, LLC.
